PPS submission to LSO on Future of Articling

September 25, 2018

The Public Policy Secretariat is drafting a submission to the LSO regarding the future of articling in Ontario. Click here for the Consultation Document. The PPS welcomes comments from CDL members, including those outside of Ontario, to ensure our response is inclusive. Notably, members outside Ontario should consider the effect of regulated professional mobility rules allowing lawyers called to the bar without articling or equivalent training to practice in other provinces. That, in turn, could lead to the abolition of articling across Canada in the interests of regulatory harmony. Interested in sharing your views? Contact Randi Glass.
